Join The GeeksFTW!

Who We are?: Right now it is just Stuart and Myself(William). We are geeks who enjoy everything that is involved in the world of Geek. We love video games, movies, TV, Comics, Technology, and whatever else. We have had people come and go from the site, but right now it is just the two of us and we are looking for more people to join us.

Why Join Us?: There is no real reason. We don’t have money to pay you, but we do have a platform for you to express your thoughts on the things you like to geek out over. We have the website where you can write articles, we have a YouTube page where you can post videos, and we have a server where you can start your own podcast without paying for hosting.

Why We want Help?:  Two people can’t cover all the topics in the world of geek, but we want the site to cover more then what we two can cover. We also want to give our listeners/viewers more reason to come to the site and hopefully build a community around the geek world.

Where to Conact us?: You can send an email to TheGeeksFTW@gmail.com and let us know what you want to do for the site or any ideas you might have. We certainly want to help others have a way to express themselves whether it is writing, podcasting, or anything else. It is all for fun right now, but we have plans on rewarding those who help out some way. So feel free to join us in Covering All things Geeky.

Kickstarter: Auris

The past few years the market has flooded with iPhone/iPod docks. You have alarm clock docs, stereo docks, docks in your car, and others I’m sure. The problem with Android and docks have been the different designs have made it tough to be able to create one that would fit a majority of Android phone. And with the recent iPhone 5 charger size change all these docks have become almost useless for buyers of the iPhone 5. Well the folks at Touchkraft have the Android and iPhone 5 covered with Auris.

Auris is a simple bluetooth device that docks in on any iPhone/iPod dock that is pre-iPhone 5. This allows the iPhone 5 and Android phones to simply connect to it using A2DP technology and play music over bluetooth.  A2DP is a technology that is only found in certain bluetooth devices so not all bluetooths have this technology. Touchkraft has passed their goal of $40,000 and are about to hit $60,000.  They have 19 days left of their Kickstarter. As of right now you can get 1 Auris pre-ordered for $30. They plan to retail at $40 so that is a 25% savings and you will help support a fantastic idea and soon to be product. Check out their Kickstarter at the source below as well as their video.
